Synopsis (Goodreads):
He’s her best friend’s older brother.Thoughts on Wolf: Hoo-boy! New series, new crew, a couple of drop-ins by familiar faces. My heart eyes are strong with this one. (and that cover! Niiiiice!)
The hot, tough former Navy SEAL.
The man she’s had a crush on her entire life and now the man pretending to be her lover to keep her safe.
CEO Lainie Madden has her hands full. In charge of a growing tech company, her work and her employees are her life. She’s sworn off love, because the sad reality is that she stinks at choosing men who aren’t self-absorbed cheaters. But when she starts receiving disturbing death threats and her company’s website gets hit with relentless cyber-attacks, she’s in over her head.
What she never expected was her best friend’s bossy, rugged brother to steamroll in to play her fake boyfriend and very real protector.
Former SEAL and CIA agent Nick “Wolf” Garrick is second in command at Sentinel Security. He’s spent most of his life fighting and protecting others, proving he’s nothing like the ex-con who fathered him. He’s also spent years ignoring his scorching attraction to his little sister’s best friend. Lainie is sweet, fresh, smart…and off limits.
But when he finds out she’s in danger, it flips a switch inside him. Whatever the risk, whatever it takes, even pretending that they’re lovers, he’ll protect Lainie and take down the person hunting her.
The more time Lainie and Nick spend together, the more the lines blur. As danger swirls around them, their pretend relationship starts to feel very real. But Nick doesn’t do relationships and Lainie doesn’t want to get hurt again…
Nick's a former Navy SEAL who is still trying to work his way out from under the baggage his stepfather handed him as a kid. Which is to say, he doesn't think he's good enough for a woman like Lainie since he's just a guy with an ex-con for a father who's had to get his hands dirty in the line of duty. He also has a heaping dose of guilt over a mission that took a turn and that colors his outlook about himself in a lot of ways.
Lainie, on the other hand, is willing to give this thing between her and Nick a go if the big guy would give her ANY sort of sign he wanted it. It isn't until things turn deadly that Nick realizes that the safest (and best) place for Lainie to be is in his arms. And his bed. Although that last part might not have anything to do with her security and is just him coming to the realization she's the best thing that ever happened to him and he needs to hold on tight.
A new crew to get to know, a little danger to keep everyone on their toes, a little steam, more than a few sparks, and a couple who light up the night. I was going to say "not literally" about the light up the night part, but there was one *tiny* little explosion. Barely noticeable. For sure.
Anywho. *thumbs up" all around. I'm excited to meet the Sentinel team as they fall one by one.
